Prep: 10 Minutes-Cook: 20 Minutes-Easy-Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-raising flour

• 1⁄4 cup cocoa

• 1⁄3 cup caster sugar

• 1⁄2 cup milk

• 60g butter, melted, cooled

• 1 egg, whisked

• Finely grated zest of 1 orange

• 1⁄2 cup Jaffas

• 3⁄4 pure icing sugar

• 1 Tbsp orange juice

• 2 tsp warm water

• Extra 6 Jaffas, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Combine flour, 2 Tbsp of the cocoa and caster sugar in a bowl. Make a well in centre. Whisk milk, butter, egg and orange zest in a large jug. Add to flour mixture and gently stir until well combined.

Using a rolling pin, crush Jaffas and add to muffin batter. Stir until just combined, then spoon mixture into paper cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer. Stand for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Sift icing sugar and remaining cocoa into a bowl. Add orange juice and water. Stir until a smooth icing forms. Spoon icing over muffins and top each with a Jaffa to serve.
